120 years ago, Orville Gibson started selling instruments out of a one-room workshop in Kalamazoo, Michigan. From this humble beginning, Gibson guitars have become the benchmark that all other guitars... are measured against. Among their celebrated guitars is the iconic Les Paul. Unbelievably, this guitar was at one time considered “old-fashioned” and production of the guitar stopped until a clever guitarist by the name of Eric Clapton repopularized it. From then on, the Les Paul has become the “holy grail” of guitars. Revisit the Les Paul with this infographic and learn about the 120th Anniversary edition of the Les Paul Standard which gracefully merges tradition and technology.
